Atleti vs Betis: Farewell and Super Cup at the Metropolitano
Atlético de Madrid hosted Real Betis at the Metropolitano in matchday 37 of LaLiga EA Sports, seeking a victory to make up for their defeat against Osasuna. The team returned to their fortress, where they have proven to be almost unbeatable this season, with the aim of bringing joy to their fans.
Beyond the result, Atleti needed at least one point to mathematically secure their participation in the next Spanish Super Cup. The match also had an important emotional component, as several players played their last game at the Metropolitano as Colchoneros.
Musso, Lenglet, Witsel, Azpilicueta, and Reinildo said goodbye to the fans, while the future of Correa and Lemar is also up in the air. Koke, whose contract also ends, seems set to renew for another season.
For their part, Betis arrived at the match with several important absences due to injury, including Vieites, Bellerín, Sabaly, Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, and Chimy Ávila. With qualification for the Europa League secured, Pellegrini’s team faced the match with their minds set on the Conference League final. In addition, Jan Oblak sought to continue making history and was fighting to win his sixth Zamora trophy.
